68coupe Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 This question isn't directly related to Thompsons, per say, but does anyone know of a reputable Barrel reline person? I have a Mauser C96 that is nearly shot out and I'm getting no decent leads on the C96 board I'm on. I figure the Thompson barrel walls are thick enough to warrant such a job and some of you might have experience. Redman's is so backlogged he doesn't know when he might be accepting more work, if ever. Any lead would be helpful, thanx in advance, Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck...Phil The REDMAN's web site says they are not taking on any relining work for the time being. They have too much in queue now. Surprising that not more companies offer this service.

Merry Ploughboy Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 Relining Thompson barrels was discussed in the Full Auto Forum a few years ago. IIRC, at that time only one case was known and that was done on a gun that was subsequently only used for display. MHO, YMMV, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
